The Reds have announced actor Will Ferrell will be at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick on Thursday, participating in a once-in-a-lifetime role for the lifelong baseball fan, as production begins on a new special from Funny Or Die, in partnership with Major League Baseball, to air exclusively on HBO later this year.

The Reds Hall of Fame & Museum will offer free admission to the first 500 fans each day on Saturday, Feb. 28 and Sunday, March 1, thanks to the Moerlein Lager House. Fans can pick up their free ticket vouchers at the Reds Hall of Fame & Museum box office beginning at 10 a.m. each day.
